      True, but alot of tables will have ways to deal with them if they're a threat, the fact is that none of the threatening fast mana rocks are indestructible or have some form of protection from destruction

      Someone drops a Mana Crypt turn 5 it can probably be dealt with.

      @@zackkelley2940 the question then becomes: "when do you intend to do that, and how?"
      Being proactive, you could Jester's Cap it out of the deck, but, as a solution, that's kinda slow, and you risk not finding him there. You could also just try milling aggressively, with some heavy graveyard hate, but, ultimately, that's just guesswork.
      Being defensive, you could hold up an exiling counterspell, but without a Mycosynth Lattice in play, he's not much more than a basic annoyance, and there are other ways to get Karn in, without him ever seeing the stack, which means that you will also have to hold up a stifle effect, which buys you a turn, maybe.
      Timing rules say that, unless there are triggers upon him landing, a smart player will get that grab from exile ability on the stack before you can do anything about it, and if Karn is meant to be a protective piece, and not a lock piece, neither he, nor the monolith, are going to intentionally exist on the field concurrently, without a damned good reason, in which case, there are likely much bigger fish to fry, and he's probably holding another deck back from popping off.
      Alternatively, you could just play Lavinia, and the monolith becomes mostly blank until someone kills the hate bear...

      Honestly, this video made me unsubscribe from Mitch. I wasn't digging his view on EDH for a while, but this video, pandering to people who just want to barf value and don't want to see their resources denied or being interacted with, even though resource denial has always been at the core of MTG as much a resource accruition, was the last straw.
      Look at his example of Worldslayer. What's wrong with the game being over when someone manages to equip an indestructable creature with a 5 mana artifact and equipping it for 5? Yeah, you can't interact anymore, so you lost, but how is it different from losing because everybody got smacked for a bazillion damage by a Craterhoof or any other win condition? You don't have to play out the game after Worldslayer, just congratulate the player who pulled it off and start a new game. However, Mitch makes it seem like people will have a bad time, while that is just not the case. At least not every time I saw it happen.
      Same goes for fast mana, the Command Zone made a video on how fast mana impacts the powerlevel of your deck and said that they have been removing fast mana from most their decks. But they did it in a way that still respected people for not making that choice and mentioning that fast mana isn't the problem per se, just the density of fast mana and the level of the rest of the deck combined. Mitch just gives players more ammunition to hate up front, instead of having an open mind and judging the performance of the deck objectively, whether it has fast mana or not.

    The worst way I have ever seen trinisphere used was with a tax deck. It could potentially increase the mana cost of all opponents spells by an insane amount. It was also able to hit activated abilities in the same way if they were Artifacts or creatures. The next part is that the deck has mycosynth latus, meaning that it would make your lands artifact lands meaning that they were essentially useless. I'm not saying that it was unbeatable only that it was hard to deal with especially when they had an early start.

      Look, I made this Artifact deck with most of these cards like ten years ago. Almost no one was playing commander yet ... so ... Grandfather Clause?
      Actually, not my saltiest deck. I did a huge amount of work for one gamestore owner back around Weatherlight and Mercadian. The deal was I was paid in cards. He figured I would go for a high value card or two, but I took a lot of cheapish rares and uncommons. I used it to build a Blue deck that focused on Capsize and Tradewind Riders. The opponent understood what was going on when they watched me return more cards than the could play each turn. More over, most of my creatures had Defender. When I eventually played Feldon's cane, they realized the point of the deck was the wait until we both ran out of cards, but for me to recycle my graveyard and win after they decked themselves. I was not allowed to play it in 'friendly' games. They preferred to lose to the salty Artifact deck.
